Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 490. Aadidevah -The first Deity. Or it can also mean as one who is First (Aadi) and one who is resplendent (Deva); further we can also take it to mean that He is the First Deva, meaning, He is the God of all gods. The term `Aadi' also means " one who eats; " the term' Deva' can mean `one who evolves': thus the term can mean " one who evolves in eating up, " by consuming the names and forms. This implies that to the extent one withdraws himself from his false occupations with the perceived names and forms, he moves deeper and deeper into the experiences of the divine Lord in himself; with this idea in mind, Lord is described by this term, " One who evolves in consuming the names and forms.
